If all else fails, new long block. Between the two techs that are here, they have seen roughly 100 long blocks replaced in the last 6 months, some of them done multiple times on the same car. One of them has replaced 4 of them himself. I could post the 28 page actual recall from Mazda, but it won't fit in one post, and I don't think you deserve to see it.
So there is your fucking answer you douchemagoos. Buy a new fucking car.
